Question

The area of a playground is 320 yards squared. The width of the playground is 4 yards longer than its length. Find the perimeter of the playground

Answer 1

The formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2(l + w), where p is perimeter, l is length and w is width,

The length of the playground is 16 yards, and the width is 20, because 16 x 20 = 320 and 16 + 4 = 20.

P = 2(l + w)
P = 2(16 + 20)
P = 2(36)
P = 72.

The perimeter is 72 yards.

Hope this helps!!
